I noticed towards the beginning of this thread a mention of various barrel chokes... which to bring and which to leave home...

I'm interested in attending a skeet clinic. I would be a beginner. I have a 12 ga pump w/ a 30" barrel and an integrated full choke. Does this fit into the plan for a beginner? I understand this choke should really only have game loads put through it (rather than buck and definately NO slug).

Any clarification on the matter is appreciated!

A full choke with a 30" barrel is going to have a very tight pattern, if I were you I would try to find a skeet barrel or one with replaceable chokes to shoot skeet.

Also yes, you can ONLY use taget loads with 7.5 -9 shot on a trap or skeet field.

Also, if you ask ahead of time they probably will have a gun you can use for the day

I think it will be fine. In level 1, Coach really focuses on the mechanics of shooting, e.g. body position, the way you move, the way you point, etc. Hitting the birds is secondary.

Run whatcha brung.

Had a great time this past Saturday in level 1. the coaches are great. Changed over to left handed mount due to eye dominance. They worked with me and I got it done! couldn't hit a clay using my gun, but they set me up with a sweet lil 20 ga and after some awesome coaching i was keeping up with the boys. Thanks guys! now i just need to get my stock cut down and fitted to me. if there is a level 2 class for april count me in.
